Two more books finished

Here are two more of my textile books for Ineke Berlyn’s course. I’ve had so much fun making them.

This first is my version of Book of Tea. Filled with quotes about tea, laces and stitching. With leather cover and closed with a key.
Enjoy!

 page 10 and 11
 and page 12

The next is «Welkome to my Garden»

The cover is made of  balsa-wood, painted like a flower garden with a fence, made of those sticks you stir your coffe with. The fabrics are mostly snow-dyed, as well as the
thread I used for hand-stitching.

As I said in my last post, I love tulips. And have just made a zig-zag book inspired by the tulips in my garden. This is what it looks like closed

Tulips in Green
Published 8. mars 2015

Tulips in Green

We have had a new reveal at Latitudequilts, and my contribution this time was «Tulips in Green».
This year we have a new set of rules.  We are going to make a series of 4 quilt, each choosing their own theme, and I chose Tulips. The size has changed as well, maximum of 24 by 17 and minimum of 20 by 15 inches, but each member can choose the exact size, and orientation

And, each one will have an additional challenge as well, a design principle or style, and the first one was green.

I love tulips. They have been blooming here in Bergen, Norway since the
spring of 1597. There even is a tulip thart only exist in Norway, named
Tulip norvegica. So my choise was rather natural. I am so fascinated by
the variety in the shapes of the flowers, they are so elegant.

Welcome

I love to make things. I like knitting in the evenings, and tending my garden. I love to work with fibres, to colour and shape things. I find great inspiration in older Japanese design, the art of Hiroshige and Hokusai being my favourites. I also dabble a bit with bookmaking, binding my own sketchbooks to play in and fill with my research, as well as making textile books.
